Tailored IPv6 Training and Management Briefings

Goatrace are pleased to offer both formal training in technical aspects of IPv6
management and business-focused management briefings. Courses can be held at
your premises or at a convenient training centre. Any course can be customised
to the customer's specific requirements.

Management Briefings

Management briefings are one or two day events and can be held either on site at
your premises or at a convenient external facility. They are aimed at
providing technology and business managers with the information they need to:

Understand what IPv6 is, how it relates to the current predominant Internet
Protocol (IP version 4), and why they might or might not need it in their
organisation

Separate out hype from reality in news reports and articles by "technology
evangelists"

Communicate the issues surrounding the technology to colleagues and board
members

Understand risks, benefits and other drivers for IPv6 adoption

Assess future need for IPv6 deployment in different areas of their
business and identify low risk areas

The two day briefing covers all information in greater depth and additionally
includes case studies of IPv6 adoption at other organisations plus discussions
of business cases frequently presented and how these may not convince your CFO.
